How can I lose weight when I've been dieting for 40+ years?

Can I just suggest another way of looking at it?


You eat a healthy diet (although it's always worth double checking that it really is as healthy as you think it is!)
You are reasonably active (although again, always worth checking that you're as active as you think you are)



So maybe 14stone is just the weight you are meant to be. We're none of us identical. The important thing is being as fit as you can be, and eating as healthily as you can - your body will then work out for itself what size it should be. There's a woman that goes to the gym with me - she's a 'larger lady', but she regularly runs 1/2 marathons. Size really isn't everything.

Concentrate on fitness first, and your shape will follow!! No good being stick thin, if you're out of puff after a couple of flights of stairs.
